ICCS 2006 : "Advancing Science through Computation"

University of Reading, UK
May 28-31, 2006

The International Conference on
Computational Science 2006 (ICCS 2006) aims to bring together
researchers and scientists from mathematics and computer science as
basic computing disciplines, researchers from various application areas
who are pioneering advanced application of computational methods to
sciences such as physics, chemistry, life sciences, and engineering,
arts and humanitarian fields, along with software developers and
vendors, to discuss problems and solutions in the area, to identify new
issues, and to shape future directions for research, as well as to help
industrial users apply various advanced computational techniques.

You are invited to submit a paper and/or a
proposal to organize a workshop. Please see the Call for Papers for
paper submission information, and Call for Workshop Proposals for more
information. All accepted papers will be printed in the conference
proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in
Computer Science series. A selected number of papers will also be
published as special issues of appropriate journals.

ICCS 2006 is the sixth in the series of highly
successful conferences: ICCS 2005 in Atlanta, ICCS 2004 in
Krakow, Poland; ICCS 2003 held simultaneously in Melbourne, Australia
and St. Petersburg, Russia, ICCS 2002 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and
ICCS 2001 in San Francisco, USA. Since its beginnings in 2001, ICCS has
attracted increasingly higher
quality and numbers of attendees and papers. Average attendance each
year is about 500 participants. With a typical acceptance rate of 35%
based on peer reviews, over 300 high quality papers are published and
presented at each ICCS event. These proceedings series have become a
major intellectual resource for computational science researchers and
serve to both define and advance the state of the field.

The theme for ICCS 2006 in
Reading, UK, is "Advancing Science through Computation", to mark
several decades of progress in computational science theory and
practice, leading to greatly improved applications science. This
conference will be a unique event focusing on recent developments in
novel methods and modelling of complex systems for diverse areas of
science, scalable scientific algorithms, advanced software tools,
computational grids, advanced numerical methods, and novel application
areas where the above novel models, algorithms and tools can be
efficiently applied such as physical systems, computational and systems
biology, environmental systems, finance, and others. We look forward to
welcoming you to this exciting event!
